The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Keep my spirit alive
Keep my spirit alive, alive
More than enough
You can take it all, but the Lord on my side
The spirit won't die, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, my life
Is in his hands, so I don't stress, I pray and strategize
Yo, flushed the work just in time and they raided
Thank God (thank God)
Screamin' through the GT roof like—, we done made it
Thank God (thank God)
Hundred round drum didn't jam when my shooter tried to spray it
Thank God (thank God, brr)
Drop a thousand grams, got 2000 grands, we'll be waiting
Thank God (thank God)
I was facing 15 and I beat it
Just spent about 20 up at Neimans
Did 200 in a demon
I'm the illest nigga and I mean it
My homie dropping bodies for no reason
Now his kids see him on the weekends
Got the baking soda for the remix
Millionaires on, I can see it
More than enough
You can take it all, but the Lord on my side
The spirit won't die-ie
Oh, oh, oh, my life, yeah
Is in his hands, so I don't stress, I pray and strategize
Yeah, don't hate me 'cause my heart is full of love
No weapon formed against me 'cause I'm covered in the blood
Laying in the hospital when I got shot, fam
Mama prayed for me, said she left it in God's hands, yeah
So I'ma leave it in God's hands
Everything I'm doing now is God's plan
Doctor said I wouldn't walk no more, now I stand
Then I ran, here I am, Machine
Keep my spirit alive
More than anything
You can take it all, but the Lord on my side
Well, between a mix of bad schools with the fast-food
Bad-had tools and a bad mood
If you don't turn to a Lil Gotti
They gon' drain all the strength in your lil' body
They turned me into a Lil Gotti, uh, yeah
Not Wakanda, but Wakanda is kinda like what we 'bout to make
And who gon' make it? Kan', duh
Who the squad? Donda
Who the mom? Donda
Who can see? Don, duh, get Don C
Who needs practice? I don't do rehearsals
And I don't do commercials 'cause they too commercial
Give it all to God and let Jesus reimburse you
She said: You in the studio with who? I'ma hurt you
How I'm 42 and you got a curfew?
How nerves dictate how they gon' curve you?
Quiet all the cordialness
We walk in God's spiritual ordinance
We know the blacks, the orphans, refused to be runaways
Rebel, renegade, must stay paid
More than enough
You can take it all, but the Lord on my side
The spirit won't die-ie
Oh, oh, oh, my life, yeah
Is in his hands, so I don't stress, I pray and strategize
